Are you leaning my way on Alford.

That fall league is not the mlb.

But I'd much rather sign free agents

then trade all the prospects away.

And why have the blue jays not made a

move to improve this team.

The jays have lots of holes to fill and sitting

watching everyone else is not helping

 

Am I the only one who started off reading this as a poem? lol

They are doing things, lets just hope we are going to like them..

My guess is the big money free agents, and the trades involving big money players are on hold until the new CBA is in place.

And I have to believe the Jays will be in on some big contracts after the last two years and the crowd support they gained.

Not really a sport but WWE fans would take it hands down. If you ever saw Making a Murderer thats exactly what the entire crowd is like, minus a few kids.

 

What is this based on?

 

I'm not even a huge WWE fan but I know enough about it to realize that they actually have some of the brightest fans- a lot of the more knowledgeable fans look at it from the business standpoint of how they book their matches. It's actually extremely interesting the way they write the show and a lot of the hardcore fans realize this- it takes someone a bit different to really appreciate the show, but those people are not dumb at all. Like someone said, there's idiot fans in every sport (or "show" in this case). Before you say it's scripted or whatever obviously everyone knows that lol.

I went to WWE RAW this past Monday and I'd tend to agree with you. Funny thing is though, a kid sitting behind me was the loudest, most obnoxious one of all

I worked at a Smackdown show and 80% of the crowd were hillbillies with chained wallets and/or ripped sleeve tank tops. Also saw more than a fair share of people walking around with fake WWE belts on. Sure there are going to be smart people in the crowd but the majority seemed to be of the uneducated variety.

Yeah idk what the f*** he is saying that WWE fans are smart. Give your head a shake. Most WWE fans think that its real wrestling.

So rather than 1-1 - would you try to make a multi-player deal and acquire Adam Eaton and Jose Abreu for Stroman + (Pillar or Travis) + prospects. I don't really like giving up on a Stroman - (I'd sooner trade Happ/Estrada) but I doubt they go for the older more expensive assets with less years of control.

 

Eaton we'd have until 2021 if options are picked up. Abreu according the JPM - is getting expensive for the White Sox but he is also under control through 2020. Abreu will be less expensive that an EE and is probably about equal defensively so not suckage but not great - and is only 29. In these two players you get a lefty and a righty bat and covers two areas of need for not that much money.

I went to see Smackdown on Tuesday and the crowd was pretty much indistinguishable from what you'd see at a hockey game.

 

Now bracing myself for the mocking I'm about to take.

Too many do.

 

I think it's pretty much just young kids and legit retarded people. Most people who watch bitch all the time about the booking.

A lot of people are into it for the drama aspect of it. I know a couple of teachers and accountants who watch it personally but they may be the outliers, dunno.

 

It's basically the soap opera version for dudes.

I was working that show and it was completely different lol. There were a few regulars (STH have option to buy every event) but there were a lot of the demographic I mentioned earlier.

 

Now please tell me you weren't one of the people wearing a WWE championship belt...

It's exactly this, they admit it as Sports Entertainment. It doesn't take away that these guys are extreme athletes, week in and out.

How was it in 2015? It could be a high BABIP skill?

 

It's pretty unlikely that high BABIP is going to be a skill for a guy who doesn't run fast or hit the ball hard.
